Lyrics:

I’m so angry I could scream, I break down and cry
Like I have a thousand times, a million times
Me and my worthlessness, we’re best friends
She holds me with her skinny arms and hunchback says
I told you so, I told you so, I told you it was a trick and a game like every man plays

You will be and have always been the fly caught in his web
While the sticky rope spins around you
You’re caught and he’s found you
I dream, I dream of a fire that stays burning when nobody tends it
I dream, I dream, I dream of a hand that reaches out when nobody lends it I dream, I dream of a fire that stays burning when nobody tends it
I dream, I dream, I dream of a hand that reaches out when nobody lends it

I’m so hopeless I could scream and break down and die
Like I have a thousand times, a million times
Me and my worthlessness are well fed
She leans back in her armchair and cackles and says
“You stupid child, you stupid child, you thought that this time it was different”
“You’re one in a million, you’re perfect, you’re destined to be”
Like the ice in the glass and he’s downed you
You’re lost and he’s drowned you
I dream, I dream of a fire that stays burning when nobody tends it
I dream, I dream, I dream of a hand that reaches out when nobody lends it I dream, I dream of a fire that stays burning when nobody tends it
I dream, I dream, I dream of a hand that reaches out when nobody lends it
